I have turned to Littman Krooks three times over the past twelve years and in each case they have provided valuable assistance. They provide prompt and thoughtful council and are a good value considering their deep expertise.

When I sold my house, owned by my irrevocable trust, my accountant said I would have to pay tens of thousands in taxes. The Littman Krooks lawyer I saw was both extremely thorough and very personable. He wrote a masterful letter to my accountant who passed it on to her legal office which then agreed with the Littman Krooks lawyer. The IRS accepted the filing, saving me tens of thousands of dollars.

Littman Krooks LLP and specifically Joel Krooks, has provided the ultimate legal professional services to my family. I have a special needs daughter who is 37 years old. Additionally, my wife, who due to health issues, has been largely confined to bed for years. Littman Krooks succeeded in obtaining Medicaid coverage for both my daughter and my wife. This has enabled my daughter to obtain an OPWDD Self Direction budget which has been enormously helpful in allowing her to live semi-independently for the first time. Getting my wife Medicaid coverage has allowed her to receive the services of a wonderful health aid. This has given me some space, for the first time in years, for myself away from being a full time caregiver. Joel Krooks also worked with us to create an estate plan carefully crafted to our individual circumstances that is critical to our future. He did all of this with friendly, personal and empathic attention to details. Littman Krooks' and Joel's expertise in special needs issues and services in New York State and the relevant law is unmatched in the legal profession and has proven invaluable to my family. I highly recommend using their services. Thank you, Littman Krooks! We greatly value being your clients and thank you for all that you have done for us. Sincerely, Stephen Heyman

I cannot rave enough about working with Brian Miller and the team at Littman and Krooks. They honestly made me feel like family. The soft, non pushy approach and knowledge of their subject area is not only comforting, but reassuring. I even recommend them to my daughter-in-law and son! Now that’s confidence!

I have worked with Littman Krooks for over 25 years - specifically with Amy O'Hara. I cannot say enough about the high quality of Amy's professional work. But there is more to estate planning than high quality products. Working with Amy, I never felt rushed. I felt listened to and that my concerns, wonders, and what if...questions were valued and considered. Amy took the time to know me, my family and to keep our individual situation in mind as she worked to create a plan for our future as well as one which meets the needs of our children. As the parent of a child with a disability, the worry of how that child will be cared for is always present. The plan that Amy created, put to rest a large portion of that worry. Amy has always generously offered thoughtful, professional advice on a number of tangential situations. While we initially met with Amy to plan for the special needs of our daughter, over the years, as my husband and I have aged, we needed advice specific to our situation. Amy was our go to person and she created and executed the documents we needed to be sure all was in place. I never hesitate to call and Amy is always timely in getting back to me. I count on her. She is on my side in a professional and personal way that are the essential components for a successful estate plan.

If you are looking for a professional, smart, knowledgeable, caring, efficient, and effective legal team to help with Estate and Elder care Law, I would heartily recommend Littman Krooks. I have used several other firms in the past for issues pertaining to Elder Care and Estate Planning and have not previously found the high level of service and care that I have at Littman Krooks. This firm resolved a rather complicated issue with an outcome that surpassed my expectations, and even hopes. The process was seamless with promptly returned phone calls and emails, excellent communication and fair pricing. I worked specifically with Bernie Krooks and Laura Brancato.

After the passing of our Dad in January, we had an unfortunate situation with another sibling. The event took us completely by surprise and we barely had time to obtain legal help. Laura Brancato with Littman Krooks LLP was referred to us. Not only did Laura accommodate us, but within 24 hours, was able to prepare all necessary details to present our case. The stress was indescribable.I cannot say enough about Laura's professionalism, integrity and communication skills. Without a doubt, Laura worked tirelessly on our behalf to represent us in an extremely critical hearing.Laura's legal expertise was above and beyond our expectations. She showed genuine care, concern and calm when we were at our lowest.We will be forever grateful and appreciative to Laura and Littman Krooks LLP for representing us and gaining a successful conclusion in our favor.

I highly recommend Littman Krooks for all of your child's educational needs. Arshi Pal and Nicole Garcia have worked with both of my children on three impartial hearings and annual IEP meetings over several years. They are an amazing team who follow through from the beginning of the process until your child receives everything that they need to succeed. In addition, they follow-up to ensure that services are being implemented and are effective. They are available to answer questions and guide you throughout. You will not wait a week for a call back. I would describe Arshi and Nicole as attentive, caring, responsive, reliable, available and strong advocates. I couldn't ask for a better team!

I have worked closely with Bernie Krooks, Mitchell Littman, Amy O'Hara and somewhat with Stephanie Goldstein. All are high quality lawyers with a strong work ethic, putting the client first and a long-view of what it means to be a good lawyer. As a lawyer and as a client, I am a big fan.

8 years ago, 2012 I hired Littman Krooks for my Mom's elder care needs. He set up a trust, taught me how to manage it so as to protect her savings, and recieve assitance for her long term care needs. The investment in the firm's services resulted in protecting her assets and approval for government assistnce. When you need an attorney for senior care, pick an elder attorney. When you want the best attorney, Littman Krooks comes to mind.

They never lost their patience with me and walked me through every single step. They fought hard and were instrumental to getting my son all the services he is entitled to.

I originally came to Littman Krooks on another matter. It was quickly brought to my attention that their were other concerns that could be and needed to be addressed with my son. My situation was quickly acted on and handled efficiently and with better success then I even anticipated. The entire staff I had dealings with were personable, caring and knowledgeable. I never had to wait for any questions or concerns regarding the matter in which they were representing me. I would highly recommend Littman Krooks.
